Mascot Battle: Jazz vs Raptors
A million thanks to Justin P. for the bloody magic.
B-Mascot Battle: Thunder vs. Harry
This is Thunder of the Golden State Warriors battling Harry of the Atlanta Hawks at this year’s NBA Jam Session in Las Vegas. Why this took nearly two months to be posted for the world to see is beyond me. This sh** is mint.
I’m no breakdancin’ expert, but I think I’m going to give the win to Harry. I mean, Thunder killed it with the knee spins and all, but come on; his costume is the much more manageable one of the two. Harry, on the other hand? Nothing but pure, crazy charisma. (Think he was drunk?) The ‘loser’ sign he throws up at the :55 second mark is just so badass. Ride or die, Harry. Ride. Or. Die.

Comments (4)Mascots and Mini-Motorcycles
What is it with NBA mascots and mini-motorcycles these days? I mean, if they’re not busy cruisin’ the streets for hookers, they’re off roughing up police officers. Jeesh…
“A Chicago Bulls mascot dressed in a bright red costume was charged with attacking an off-duty officer after driving a mini-motorcycle through an outdoor festival.
Barry Anderson, the Benny the Bull mascot, was charged with misdemeanor battery and driving within a parkway. The 26-year-old man is accused of throwing a punch at the sheriff’s deputy, knocking off his glasses and breaking his watch.”
And in related news, Minnesota Timberwolves mascot, Crunch, was arrested over the weekend after he crashed his luxury mini-motorcycle into a parked Suburban while masturbating.
